On January 11 , 1946, Robert Lee Hisey was born to Doyle E. and Thelma M. Murphy Hisey. Growing up he shared his childhood with two sisters Catherine and Beverly, two brothers Larry and Gary and multiple cousins. Proudly, he graduated with the Class of 1964 from Richland Center High School and was a starting member of the Wildcat basketball team.

At Rochester's First Baptist Church,  Bob and Elizabeth A. "Becky" Keene were married on March 14 , 1965.   They have shared 58 years of life's adventures. From their union came three wonderful children, Angie, Tim and Chad. Another generation has been added to the family tree with the blessings of four grandchildren, Ian, Noah, Guidry and Cameo.

With a strong work ethic, Bob worked for Spartech of Warsaw as a machine operator.   Known to his family and friends as some one who could fix anything, he and daughter Angie enjoyed remodeling together. Bob was always there to help everyone, especially his family. He thought of everyone else first and was loved by all he met. Bob built bird houses for his fine feathered friends and enjoyed watching and feeding them. "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick" was a line in an older commercial that Bob lived by. He loved his Buicks.
